Full Day Kindergarten Program

Nothing prepares your child for success in elementary school like a strong kindergarten experience where academic and social development go hand-in-hand with physical well-being. A balance of group activities, individual attention, and a strong emphasis on reading, writing, spelling, and math provides each child with a solid foundation for elementary school success.

Children at our school are always encouraged and challenged to put their ideas, feelings, and experiences in words, no matter whether they are spoken or written. We give them all the necessary skills to navigate the world of print and books. Our teacher gives a great deal of thought and commits many resources to making sure that all of our students succeed in learning to read.

We also offer educational support tools such as the Mimio Smart Board, the Radius audio learning system, and educational software to enhance learning and instruction.

Literacy work stations are used for student's meaningful independent work and are an integral part of each child's instruction.

Students practice penmanship and have many opportunities to enjoy several types of literature. They are also exposed to advanced concepts in science and social studies which are intergrated throughout the program.

Our program will also focus on establishing and maintaining good health. The creative arts program includes experiences in art , music, and drama. Our physical education program focuses on developing physical skills and coordination which are necessary for everyday living. The importance of exercise and fitness as it relates to the child's good health will also be stressed.
